"Mr President, there is no need to insist on the importance today of the information society for everybody, both for the public sector and for companies and citizens.
I will focus on just two of the reports under discussion today. With regard to the Commission’s initiative on the reuse of public sector documents, there are more and more companies in Europe who make use of information from the public sector and who reuse it. We must guarantee that the conditions for access to this information are the same throughout Europe. The price for this information must be proportional – without question – to the cost of production, but on the other hand we cannot oblige the administration – as the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs has said – to produce all that information if it is not relevant or necessary.
With regard to the Council’s proposed decision on the monitoring of eEurope and the dissemination of good practices and security on the networks, I would like to highlight two aspects. The Committee on Citizens' Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs, which produced the opinion for the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy, which produced the main report, has also stated that it is necessary not just to promote all exchanges of good practices between public and private professionals, but that the Commission should also fund information and awareness campaigns on the issue of the security of networks.
I would like to congratulate the Commission on its initiative today to present a single system for security of the networks. It is clear that our work and our economies are increasingly based on the information society and it is therefore important to reduce the risk of insecurity on networks.
We must guarantee both safe access and the protection of the privacy of the data of those who access the public sector and the networks in general.
In order to promote an electronic economy in the field of enterprises, it is also essential to promote a culture based on the entrepreneurial spirit and to stimulate greater participation by companies in the information society. While in Lisbon, as other Members have said, the strategic objective was set on turning the knowledge-based economy into the most competitive and dynamic economy in the world, the objective of the information society is undoubtedly an important and essential driving force."@en1
